The following list represents a modest initial
attempt to list Romanian teachers and scholars currently working in the field of
the Ancient Greek and Roman Classics. It has been prepared for those who are
comparatively unfamiliar with Classical Studies in Romania rather than for those
who already know the work of their Romanian colleagues and/or have contacts with
them. The list comprises only those persons who, to the best of my knowledge,
are still active. The information on each scholar varies in quantity and
quality, ranging from little more than names and addresses in some instances to
rather extensive descriptions in others. Wherever information is incorrect,
repetitious, obsolete or incomplete, I welcome corrections and additions. These
may be sent to the CEECS e-mail address (choceecs@aol.com)
or by surface mail to Dr. Chester Natunewicz, 2107 Teague Road, Houston, TX
77080-6409, U.S.A. For each scholar, as available, I
have given the name, academic title, professional rank, institutional address,
e-mail address and residential address. I have also described the scholar’s
teaching, reasearch and scholarly writings (under the rubric "TRSW"); this
category of information is intended as a sampling simply to indicate, with
varying degrees of detail, and generally not in a typical bibliographic format,
the topics which have occupied, and continue to occupy, the respective scholar’s
interest. To help the reader see how words in Romanian are pronounced, I have
substituted the letter combinations "s(h)" and "t(s)" for the separate Romanian
letters "s" and "t" (in addition to the normal "s" and "t" ) that have a curved
diacritical mark at their base. In pronunciation and spelling Romanian is very
close to Italian, except that it contains many words of Slavic origin not found
in Italian itself.
I shall be happy to receive any and all help with this
list, which is intended as a work in progress that may aid non-Romanian speakers
in understanding how much outstanding work has been done in the field of Ancient
Studies by the modern descendants of the ancient Geto-Dacians. Indeed I hope
that our Romanian colleagues themselves will maintain and build upon this basic
list so that even more information can be shared on an ongoing basis with
Classicists in other lands. Herewith follows the list: |
